What I do see is him continuously parading around the podcast circuit and the polarised discussion online about him.

My gut reaction when I heard him on Joe Rogan was one of disgust, while quietly finding I actually agree with a lot of what he says. He's a guy who has access to "truth" (in the pragmatic, William James sense) that many of his attackers do not.

I don't believe he's on the level of any of those people you've put up him up alongside. I think he draws on their work, mediates and applies their ideas as a clinical psychologist does.

Clever, no doubt, and with a message that is undoubtedly of value to many, and certainly making a lot of money at it too.
